What PS5 games have been announced? What PS5 games have been rumoured? In this guide, we're going to list every PS5 game that's been confirmed or rumoured ahead of the console's release, which is due in 2020. This list is based on at least partial confirmation from publishers or developers, rumours that have weight, and educated guesswork. We'll, of course, be updating this article over time as more information becomes available, so be sure to check back.

Status: Announced for PS4, but given scope of game and development progress, a PS5 release seems likely

CD Projekt Red's next role-playing experience has already wowed with a lengthy gameplay demo, and expectations are sky high after The Witcher 3. The Polish developer has stated numerous times that Cyberpunk 2077 is bound for the PS4, but given that the game is reportedly still a while off, we can definitely see it releasing as a cross-gen title. Besides, the sheer ambition on display suggests that Cyberpunk 2077 has already given us a glimpse of what an open world PS5 game could be.

Status: Announced for PS4, but given development progress, an additional PS5 release seems feasible

It's a bit mad to think that we still don't know an awful lot about Death Stranding. Sony's placed a lot of faith in iconic developer Hideo Kojima and his team at Kojima Productions, and it's clearly willing to give the studio the time that it needs to ensure Death Stranding's quality. However, given the game's production cycle thus far, it's not too much of a jump to assume that it'll appear on PS5 in some form. In fact, system architect Mark Cerny has alluded to this very fact in recent interviews.

With the PS5 confirmed to be backwards compatible, Media Molecule may not feel it needs to port Dreams to the next-gen console at all. However, it will surely want the creation engine to span multiple generations, and a native port to the PS5 could allow for even more imaginative potential to be unlocked. It's guesswork, but not unrealistic.

Like Death Stranding, Ghost of Tsushima's release window is up for debate. We don't quite know how far into development the game is, and so a PS5 version, whether it's a cross-gen launch or an enhanced edition that hits after the PS4 release, seems feasible. Again, this one is dependent on developer Sucker Punch and Sony's management of the project, but we're willing to bet that a lot of these later PS4 games are going to be carried over to the next generation in some way.

We already know that developer Sony Santa Monica is working on its next project, and given the outstanding success of God of War on PS4, a sequel is inevitable. Taking into account the development time of a potential project like this, it's reasonably safe to say that it'll launch on the PS5.

Logical list, it'll be interesting to see if the PS5 plays PS4 games similar to how the Pro and particularly the X handle unpatched games now. With so many games having dynamic resolutions and the X adding 16x anisotropic filtering as standard, perhaps the PS5 could make some of these look and run better without the need for a dedicated PS5 release?

@Kindaichi I know what you mean but it's almost a case of them just being there so that Sony has a solid foundation at the start of the next generation.

Let's just assume The Last of Us: Part II launches in November 2019, and the PS5 launches in March 2020. I think given the amount of remasters we've had this generation, it almost seems a shame that The Last of Us: Part II would be left on PS4 only. The same applies to Death Stranding, etc. And I think Sony will know there's money to be made there.

The only thing that makes the situation more complex is the inclusion of backwards compatibility — something the PS5 absolutely needs and will most likely have. If you can just play your PS4 games on your PS5 then why would you buy the PS5 version? I guess it all comes down to how b/c is implemented on PS5 and whether Sony will look to make PS5 remasters or enhanced editions worthwhile.

I hope they loosen their restrictions concerning cross-play in the next generation. Speaking mostly as a fighting game player, it would make sense for the communities to be consolidated into one so that people can find matches no matter what platform they are on.

I have BBTag on PS4, an my brother has it on Switch, and most times, there are only a handful of people playing n Switch even at peak hours. They would not have to worry if cross-play became a thing.

And in this day and age, there really does not seem to be any valid reasons to not have the feature.

Closer to topic, it's crazy that I have not bought any of the Sony-exclusive AAA games this gen. I mean the first party ones. I do have Bloodborne. You can call me what you want, but I don't really like these cinematic games that try to be movies with a few gameplay sections sprinkled throughout. I played Last of Us, and was never captivated by it because Uncharted had worn me out when it came to movie-games. Also, I got sick of shooters by that point.

Sorry for the ramble. Anyway, i have had every Playstation since the first one, and I will be getting the PS5 day one for sure. But as I am getting older, and finding different hobbies, I'm beginning to think that the next console generation is going to be my last.

@Royalblues
I reckon its all matter of perspective how you want to call games. Uncharted maybe a movie game for you but Crash is a TV game for ND so maybe you like TV games better. Its all preference in the end.

All I want is backwards compatibility... Then pretty much all the games in this list will have a PS5 version. Can't wait por Horizon2... When I started playing it (day one) one of my first thoughts was "Horizon2 on PS5... OMG!!!"

@Royalblues Even if you ignore anything from Horizon Zero Dawn and The Last Guardian to Ratchet & Clank and God of War... Uncharted and TLOU have more gameplay than cutscenes, so I don't really get why you think they're movies with gameplay "sprinkled" throughout.

sigh Before this gets out of hand, because I know how argumentative people on gaming forums can get; I don't say "movie-game" disparagingly at all. When I see games from this gen, especially Playstation games, with their astronomical production values, I think to myself "Damn, this is some cinema-looking stuff." Again, I am not being disparaging. I loved Uncharted 2, and TLOU looks amazing, like the other games of this gen.

I am speaking as a guy who buys way too many games these days, and has way too many other responsibilities that when I get home, if I'm not engaging in any of the other hobbies I have or doing some housework, maybe I want to play a few rounds of Tekken or Puyo before I sleep rather than play something that demands such an investment in time and energy like all these games coming out today. Once again, I mean no malice towards any of your feelings or tastes. I came here with the intent to point some things out, not to start arguments. These are my own feelings about games today, and I am not trying to force them out on anyone.

My motto as a gamer has always been "Play Games, Be Cool," and I always have. Be good to yourselves and each other.

After reading that microsoft will be releasing a digital only version of the xbox one at a reduced price i hope sony do the same with the ps5...i would much rather a digital only console at a reduced price rather than a disc drive i would never use...As for the games i just want to see all the vr games currently upscaled to vr v2

I really hope GoW 2 is on PS4 based on that ending, seems really freakin' mean to end it like that then force people to buy a PS5 to see the rest, and they already have the game engine so it shouldn't take too long to put it together, but it will probably be PS5.

Horizon: Day One at launchGod of War Two 6-8 months laterSpiderman 2 1 year to 18 months after launch

@Kindaichi Difficult to say, I think Sony's going to surprise with some of its decisions for PS5, I don't think it's going to be quite as predictable as a lot of people think.

Having said that, I do think hints and a possible reveal in 2019 before leading into a 2020 launch makes the most sense to me. I'm just not sure on the exact timing. Could even be a reveal and launch in 2020.

@leucocyte why not? The days of custom built hardware are over and these are essentially just PC's these days. The Pro and more so the X prove that this wouldn't actually be that difficult, particularly the X as that has a brand new GPU and different RAM and Microsoft have already suggested all of their future hardware will play of of their current games so Sony would be fools not to follow suit

My guess is the PS5 will release early or mid 2020. Architecture will be similar to the PS4, just stronger, so that it can play all old titles but also handle more powerful exclusives (backwards compatibility doesn't bother me as I'm not getting rid of my Spider-Man Pro but I think they'll try to support it). We won't see a ton of PS4 exclusives next year but that'll be to prepare for the PS5's launch lineup the following year. Horizon: Zero Dawn 2 will be marketed as one of the big PS5 games of 2020.

@carlos82 - it's nothing to do with whether the hardware is custom built, though the APUs in PS4 and XB1 do have a lot of customisations from the standard components. the Pro and XBX both use the same jaguar CPU as the base models which is crucial in both systems being able to run the same games as the base models. PS5 will use a different CPU, the latest AMD zen CPUs use simultaneous multithreading which is quite different from the speculative out-of-order executions used in the jaguar. PS4 games are not like PC games, they are not built to run on multiple different hardware configurations, so my guess is they'll not work (or not guaranteed anyway) on PS5. even the 360 backwards compatibility on XB1 requires a lot of work on each title. so sony's options for PS5 might be to, include the PS4 components (expensive and extremely unlikely), use virtualisation (not likely), or custom middleware which can convert the API of the PS4 to native PS5 function calls (the most plausible option but not without complications). i wouldn't say that PS5 definitely will not play PS4 games (in some non-streaming way) but i wouldn't bet on it either.

I hope PS5 has backward compatibility with PS4 as has been rumored. What would be great is if when your digital purchases are transferred to the new system, you would have the option to update the games with higher resolution, PS5-worthy assets.

EA's "Destiny killer" is due out in February 2019 on PlayStation 4, but if the company wants a constantly evolving game, then it's going to need to make the jump to next-gen at some point. We're fully expecting ANTHEM to carry over to the PS5 alongside other service-based titles via enhanced editions and the like."

@wiggleronacid
I'm not sure why people think next GG game is going to be HZD2. The game is in development that's for sure but the studio is really big now and should have another team working on a new game even before HZD was released. A killzone game is my guess though I'd rather a third person game. My wish thinking would say a third person perspective killzone. Haha

How about a new TWISTED METAL? I can't believe that a Twisted Metal game is going to skip a sony console (PS4) since they made one for everyone of their consoles to date (including handhelds). Still though, would be nice to have a Horizon 2 game at launch!!!! I'd also go with a party-game at launch too...how about a new Buzz title with buzz controllers (not the cursed using your smartphone titles).

For some reason, I see the PS5 being a copy off of the Switch in some ways (granted the switch was sort-of a copy of the VITA)...but I also see Sony waiting on what Microsoft is doing first...they're already dominating the market, so I doubt they want Microsoft to go back into the lead again. At least that's my guess, and I'm sure Microsoft will reveal something at E3, and maybe that's why Sony's not showing up (also possibly because they're hard at work prepping for the PS5 and games). To me, it's like Sony is like Nintendo and does things differently and in their own ways! It's just going to be sad at how far behind nintendo will be with the next consoles race out...Switch will definitely be seeing a large drought then unless the indie scene and nintendo themselves push it up, but nintendo will also be in the mid-lifecycle of the Switch, so they'll then be working on their next console (Switch U, underpowered again, not a real big step up from the Wii generation, Mario Kart 8 DX Ultimate confirmed for it!!!!)

@Royalblues I don’t want to argue either, but when you say ‘movie games’ with ‘gameplay sections sprinkled throughout’ it makes it sound like you watch a film for 45 mins and then play for 5 mins if you’re lucky. You know this. Don’t be disingenuous.

2019 they should just go ahead and put enhanced for PS5 on the box. For a little more then a year I skipped the big titles on PS3 at the end of its life. Knowing they would show up on PS4 at some point. It worked out very well for me. I feel due to the amount of work needed the would not happen. Let hope this time Sony can make it happen. Box spent a lot of time working on old games for BC and may be the reason its so dry on new games now.

I think games like death stranding and cyberpunk will release on ps4 only BUT with a big label on the box saying “enhanced on ps5” or “exclusive functions for ps5”I think certain ps4 games like god of war and spiderman or dual released will get a patch that will only download on a ps5 adding a lot of stability, higher res and maybe even functions not possible on ps4.

An example of such a patch would be dynasty warriors 8 for ps4 showing 1.000 enemies on screen on ps5 (not that this example will happen, just the thing I could think of the quickest)

Am I the only one who gets sad at PS5 news? Like, I feel like there is plenty of life still in this generation. I typically don't buy a console until mid way through a generation. I got a Wii in 2011, a PS3 in 2013 and a PS4 in 2017.

@jFug I feel that a lot of gamers fail to live in the here and now. They’re either reminiscing about how much better the SNES was or looking to next gen and already saying they’re going to stop buying current gen releases and just wait for the ps5 remaster. I mean, I’m excited about next gen too, but I’m going to enjoy the hell out of what we’ve got left of this one, coz the last year or so is when you could get the game of the generation (see the last of us and gta5.)

I dont see how can be claiming that cyberpunk 2077 will be delayed untill ps5 comes out given ps5 is going to be end of q4 2020 at best, and Cyberpunk is going to be out in 8 months at worst based on them hiring a release manager recently

I just want devs to take risks and make some fresh and new IPs. I'm personally tired of seeing sequels and games that have been around since the beginning of freakin time. Dont get me wrong we've gotten some great stuff of course. Re 2 was great, MK11 looks sick, and DMC5 is my all time favorite game now, but how long can they just keep giving the same stuff? Can capcom start a new fighitng game franchise with all new characters? Can naughty dog make a new adventure series that isnt uncharted? Lets get more originals like Horizon, bloodborne, gravity rush, etc

Note: Marc Healey of Media Molecule said that if Sony were to make a new console (PS5) they would probably figure out a way to make it work on there during an interview with I believe game informer(in a skype call it seemed)

Since you know PS5 will be fully backward compatible with PS4 games, all these games will be PS4 games eventually running better on PS5 (uncapped framerate, full 4k instead of checkboarding and so)with perhaps an exception for God of War 2 since this one hasn't been announced yet
